[that question makes her... laugh? it's like, not a nice laugh.]

Am I - yes. Obviously. Cetus. [please. her whole existence is agony over saving other people.]

[guestservices]

[mildly]

Please don't take me the wrong way. I'm not saying it's unexpected.

[evocationary]

[she wrinkles her nose.]

It... it just doesn't sit right with me to have to leave it like that. [but she knows she can't really talk about this with the staff, so she just goes quiet after, folding her arms.]

[guestservices]

Mm. I think holding onto that feeling is a fight in of itself. Not just in this place, but in general.

[evocationary]

[her ear flicks.]

I don't usually let it sit, in general. [which is why she died and got trapped in an umbrella for ten years but we don't talk about that]

[guestservices]

... Then, don't let it go. Empathy is something that people often decide is optional when it becomes difficult to bear, I've found.

[evocationary]

... Yeah. It hasn't ever been, for me. You don't have to worry about that.

[...] I like talking to you, did you know that?

[guestservices]

[they tilt their head.]

That's not something I hear everyday.

[evocationary]

[a little laugh.]

Really? That's a ding-dang shame. You're calming.

[guestservices]

Ha... some do consider me patronizing. But I'm flattered—that's quite high praise.
